It was formed by a group led by Antonio and Juan Luna. Antonio decided to publish it using his own money and appointed himself Director. It was initially called La Patria (Motherland), and the Lunas were banking on the press freedom that they anticipated from the Americans. But their permission to publish was turned down by the Provost Marshal \"on the belief that the newspaper might rekindle the fire of discord between the Filipinos and Spaniards.\" \n\nUndaunted by this setback, Antonio Luna changed the name of the periodical to \"La Independencia\" and, on September 3, 1898, issued the first copies. The La Independencia was printed clandestinely. The masthead indicated that it was printed at the Asilo de Huerfanos printing press in Malabon. But in reality, the press was installed in Luna's house along Calle Urbiztondo in San Nicolas. \n\nThe newspaper staff consisted of the best writers of the period: the Del Rosario brothers, Salvador (who became editor-in-chief) and Mariano, both of whom once wrote for the La Solidaridad; Rafael Palma (who later replaced Luna as its director); Jose Abreu, Fernando Maria Guerrero, Clemente J. Zulueta, Cecilio Apostol, Epifanio de los Santos, and Felipe G. Calderon. Among its contributors were Trinidad Pardo de Tavera and Leon Ma. Guerrero (the first Filipino pharmacist and a member of the Aguinaldo cabinet) and Luis Ma. Guerrero, Jose Palma (who later published the Spanish lyrics of the Philippine national\nanthem); Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, Apolinario Mabini, Mariano Ponce, Antonio Regidor, and Ferdinand Blumentritt. Two prominent women writers also joined its staff: Rosa Sevilla de Alvero (founder of the Instituto de Mujeres) and Florentina Arellano (later the secretary of the Association of Filipino Women). \n\nLa Independencia quickly gained public support as its articles advocated total independence for the Philippines. But the Philippine-American War soon began, and its editors had to flee Manila for the provinces. After Luna was assassinated in June 1899, only Palma, Fernando Ma. Guerrero and Cecilio Apostol were left to manage the newspaper. The printing press was placed on a train as it was moved north until a permanent base was established in Bautista, Pangasinan, with Palma as its director. \n\nBut La Independencia soon came to an end when Tarlac and Pangasinan fell to the Americans. The last issue came out on 24 November 1899.","lot_group":"BOOKS","lot_details_html":null,"alias":null,"hp":140000,"bp":0.2016,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":140000,"userBid":34,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":15394,"reserve_price":null,"hammer_price":168224,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":65310,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/186/220/lot/101.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[70000,80000,90000,100000,110000,120000,130000,140000,150000,160000,170000,180000,190000,200000,220000,240000,260000,280000,300000,320000,340000,360000,380000,400000,450000,500000,550000,600000,650000,700000,750000,800000,900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":100,"next":102,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
